Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet?

I'd say it's because internet is much younger in Poland therefore most of its users are 14 year old boys going through puberty. In every country these boys make probably something like 70% of useless swearing on the internet..

It's just a way of venting and they need to get it out somehow. Rather do it here than on the streets.

When I was 14 I was reading books.. on the other hand I didn't have internet connection then..

Books? What's that?
That would make a good post: What did you do when you were 14? I painted and took walks with my collie Lassie. Besides studying of course.

Really, this is not just an internet phenomenon. What gets me about people here is that they call themselves experts in this and that but break first principle in that which they are 'supposedly' well versed in. For example, any methodologist of English knows that when you hand out something for them to read, they are itching to read it. I always give them the instructions before handing tasks out as I know that they will just take it and block me out by starting. Last night was a prime example and I fell out with my colleagues. I told them where they could stick it if they wouldn't let me finish reading out the question to the four quiz teams. Basic methodology dictates that I read the question and then (and only then) they turn over and read it for themselves. But no, they are users and are all about, 'ooh, we have a native speaker'. They basically ignored me as they were reading already. Bloody peasants!!

Some manner classes would be in order but they feel like they don't need them and would be offended by such a thing. SOOOOOOO defensive!! I expect an apology on Monday. It's not the first time they've fuc*ed me off with BS. They were clearly in the wrong but they never accept blame. I'm not gonna be Mr Nice Guy this time. They are gonna know that they were obnoxious cnuts!!

People? rude? on the internet? Polish people no less?
Well I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing in my life!


Have a drink and get some good loving.

Seanny, I generally don't have a problem with them. I just dislike the fact that they can be as*es without beer and suddenly, after 2 or 3 beers, they make out that nothing is wrong and we are one big happy family. That I find false and off.

To be honest i disagree in the main with the OP, i think anybody can be rude online and i don't think the Poles are anymore rude than other people. I would agree though with the endless complaining and moaning.....

Torny, how many Polish pages have you read? What is your level of Polish? I read many and can tell you that there are swear words everywhere. It's their way.

You should try meeting them when their sat behind a desk

Do tell, guv :)

Well after losing a football match Poles even attack Scandinavians for their German side of the language. It allways depends on the situation ye know.

with the 14ies, well in that age you either get mocked by mates teacher family or even an animal so when you logg on the computer your just an vulcano ready to explode!

Ahh kind of like the Scotts when England lose you gotta see it to believe it. That was my first experience of a forum and i was absolutely gob smacked.

Some Scots are morons, some of the hardest hitters when it comes to footie and total hypocrites at that. The same guys that beat one another senseless at derby matches club together and spew bile at English people when they lose. If only they knew how their own kind sold out and continue to sell out to the English.

Scotland and Poland have more of their fair share of numpties.

Does that include those who have jumped ship?


Utter bollocks.

Those who have jumped ship have moved away from all that petty BS! I meant the merchants long ago who were instrumental in the drive towards the Union of the Parliaments in 1707.

Many still sell out but I mean politicians here and not common folk. How many referendums for independence have there been since 1999? 'You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands' (Civil War, Guns N Roses). Listen to that song, many home truths.

Tis the same the world over seanus, the career politicos would sell there own grandma to further there careers and have no compunction in shafting their own electorate.

Exactly! A lot of rudeness on the net is in response to their unscrupulous ways. Many people don't give a Castlemaine XXXX but many peoples' lives are directly affected by them.

Actually, I've been getting many "rude" messages since the date I first settled on nasza-klasa.pl (I create an account there as wished by a Polish friend and we keep connect to each other as well as to that friend's friends), the content of those messages were just spam or expression of racism, can't understand why they did this (although not many of them do).

because nasza-klasa.pl is full of stupid bored kids which don't know much about life in general... just ignore it...

I promise I won't be rude anymore...

what and the Brits never swear :) your having a laugh right :)

Torny, I'm not in the best of moods (understatement) so I refer you to post 84 above, point out that this is about Polish people (NOT Brits) and await your response.

I wish I was gay but happiness is elusive at the moment.

what i'm trying to point out is that like the OP seemed to point towards is that Poles in particular are rude on the net, well actually it does not seem to be the case at all, everybody is.

Everybody is a bit different when their on their keyboard from when they are face to face, yes its about Poles but there is nothing special about the Poles been rude on the net, its a common thing.

As for your mood thats not my show...

Once again, we are discussing Polish people. What part of that don't you get? Answer the question and stop digressing on your tangents. I'm not discussing English people here. If I were, I'd be on an English forum. Simple? Kapisz?

what is the point in discussing one type/nationality/culture if there is nothing to measure them by?? Surely to be considered rude you need to allign them with other examples, people, cultures etc etc.

Yes your discussing Polish people but this is not such a big problem 'Poles been rude on the internet' when you look at the bigger picture :) In fact they are rather placid when it comes to the bigger picture.

So you can stick your mood back from wherever it came from and tell it to somebody who cares because i couldn't give 2 you know whats about your mood, if your in a bad mood and feel like it may effect others then log off and cry into your tissue or hit a punch bag.

"Anonymity is the last refuge for cowards".

Well, you were butting in without knowing what on earth you were talking about!! Speak Polish do ye lad? Go on, give us a laugh!! No, I'll take you to task and show that you really shouldn't be on this thread.

What Polish sites do you frequent?

really, i think i've got a good idea about what is rude and what isn't rude, i have spoken on the internet before you know. Ow and yes to Polish people, whether or not they are speaking English or Polish you can still judge whether they are being rude or not.


Ow really, well if you want to know, i've had a similar discussion with 'actual' Polish people who were 'actually' talking on a Polish forum in Polish. They were giving me examples and translating what was being said, we were not discussing 'rude' as a subject but about the sort of language used, swear words etc etc. I've done it a number of times as i'm actually interested in other cultures and people's behaviour within those cultures.

So please don't tell me what thread i should or should not be on :) its not your decision, never has been and probably never will be. As for your short temper, i wasn't expecting it from you but hay ho there you go, learn something new everyday :)


well i've heard it from the horses mouth so i don't need to thanks

If you were my father then you could tell me what i can and cannot do, as your not then i politely ask you to reframe from commenting on what i should and should not be doing, let alone what conversations i'm allowed and not allowed to have.

Just because you have a chip on your shoulder, or are in a mood, there is no excuse for you bringing your problems to the forum.

I just don't think you have scoured so many sites, preferring to focus in on your own experiences. That's not a broad perspective.

Let's just say that I know the culture here better than you do. I also live with my eyes and ears open and that's how I pick up language and cultural norms quickly.

Fine, make comparisons but don't deflect the topic by saying that not only Poles do it. Everyone with half a brain is aware of that.
